182: Losing The Facade With Kristina Mänd Lakhiani
July 15, 2019 21:40 - 1 hour“I understood that what I am inside is not what I showed to the world… because that’s the weird thing about delusion. You do not know that aren’t seeing the right picture.” - Kristina Mänd-Lakhiani (click to tweet) Have you ever felt like you’re constantly chasing something more? You checked off your boxes, you’ve crossed off your list and you’ve reached your financial goals. Yet, for some reason you still feel a void. What is that about? It’s normal for us to put our self-worth and valu...
181: Self-Love and Personal Mastery With Adam Roa
July 08, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour“To me, an artist is someone who translates their creative energy into tangible form.” - Adam Roa (click to tweet) So many of us are often told “you have potential.” We’re given platitudes of our “could-be” future but not all of us are given personal development tools to help us reach that potential. It can be frustrating to always feel like you aren’t where you could be. Well, what if there was a way we could take more of the driver-seat approach to life? What if we could stop letting li...
180: Walking In True Guidance With Paul Selig
July 01, 2019 08:52 - 1 hour“It's about realizing who one is without the mask that one has negotiated a reality through.” - Paul Selig (click to tweet) Purpose is ultimately the goal that most of use live our lives for. We want to find out why we're here and we want to find our meaning. We search everywhere for purpose, but sometimes we are unaware that it’s already being fulfilled. That’s why on today’s episode of Personal Development Without The Fluff, we are joined by Paul Selig, an incredibly wise and well respect...
179: What Does Parenting Mean Today?
June 24, 2019 09:00 - 52 minutes“I find it to be of paramount importance that you first have to lead.” - Guy and Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) We’ve previously discussed aspects of parenting in our podcast on episode titled “Don’t Make Parenting Harder Than It Needs To Be,” but we all know parenting is forever a learning process. There is so much to take into account when we are dealing with the changes in culture from our generation to theirs. Although we all have our own styles of parenting, there are some tools that c...
178: Discover Your Purpose and Intuition with David Solomon
June 17, 2019 09:00 - 49 minutes“If the internal voice is calm and consistent, it’s much more likely your intuition.” - David Solomon (click to tweet) One of the most valuable things to possess is purpose. Decisions, relationships, career choices, and much more usually tend to become much more meaningful and beneficial when we can attribute them to a purpose in our lives. Although many of us know that having purpose is valuable and beneficial, it can be difficult to discern whether our actions and decisions are guided by...
177: Listening To Your Body’s Language with Dr. Allen Bittaker
June 10, 2019 09:00 - 2 hours“The perfect combination of chaos and stability creates growth.” - Dr. Allen Bittaker (click to tweet) Physical pain is one of the main forms of communication that we listen to in our bodies. It grabs our attention immediately and sometimes we can’t manage to take our attention away from it once it’s there. It communicates that something is going on that the body is not used to and that you need to be made aware of it. And although pain is what we are most familiar with in terms of our bod...
176: STOP Fighting Your System. START Listening To It.
June 03, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour“If you are looking for someone to tell you what to do, then I would offer that what you are looking for is not a coach. What you are looking for is a crutch.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) So many of us waste so much time staying intimidated by what life could have in store for us. Some of us have career dreams, relationship dreams or financial dreams but we always tell ourselves “someday” because we’re waiting for the right time. Well what if we stopped waiting for someday arri...
175: The Pain and Discomfort of Integration
May 27, 2019 09:00 - 54 minutes“It’s all so temporal. Nothing is here to stick forever. It will stick forever if you are the one holding it in place.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) Going through changes, pain and discomfort are all just parts of life. Everyone experiences them and everyone relates to them. Some have more significant effects on us than others. But what if we could look at it all from a bigger picture? If nothing else, there’s one thing that we can take away from every uncomfortable experience that...
174: Don’t Make Parenting Harder Than It Needs To Be
May 20, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour“I'm always figuring it out. I never feel like I have the ultimate answer.” - Guy & Ilan Feldman(click to tweet) Parenting is HARD. It’s a continuous journey of growth and development for all parties involved. But most of you already know that sometimes it’s lovely and sometimes it’s messy. Imagine if there were ways we could effectively help our relationships flow more harmoniously with our children. We are so caught up in the act of “parenting” that we feel the need to always tell our kid...
173: Finding Your Journey with Frankie Fihn
May 13, 2019 09:00 - 53 minutes“There’s an endless number of ways to make money, but there’s not an endless number of ways to make money that will make you really happy.” - Frankie Fihn (click to tweet) Life is always a journey no matter where you are, what you do, or who you know. Sadly, we often lose sight of our journey because we are conditioned to focus on the dollar. It’s no secret that money doesn’t buy happiness. But as Robert Kanell said in a previous episode, “Having money helps, but it’s just a tool.” That’s w...
172: Being Human On the Path of Ascension with Marci Lock
May 06, 2019 09:00 - 2 hours“In full divine union with myself, I could therefore see divine union beloveds everywhere.” - Marci Lock(click to tweet) It’s common for us to struggle with identity, self image, and life experience. We get caught up in our imperfections and become uneasy in situations that are unfamiliar. One of the things many of us are missing is presence. It’s not taught to us in our childhood—that we are allowed to love the parts of ourselves that may seem like they are not yet deserving. Instead, we ...
171: Finding Your Truest Self with Robert Kandell
April 29, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour“How can you love others if you’re not truly loving yourself?” - Robert Kandell (click to tweet) Do you feel unhappy with your life right now? Despite others telling you that you’ve achieved success in your career, finances, relationships and other areas, do you still somehow feel unfulfilled? If so, perhaps you aren’t living in YOUR success. You may possess the fortune that society tells you is the dream—but deep down, is it actually YOUR dream? Maybe you know that there is something truly ...
170: Stop Being Lazy and Get the Life You Want
April 22, 2019 09:00 - 56 minutes“The way you do one thing is the way you do everything.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) It’s safe to say that the majority of us have an ideal life that we would like to achieve. Some people want better physical health, some have career goals, and others may have mental and emotional health goals. Well, these all have one thing in common: They require COMMITMENT.They require TIME.They require PATIENCE. The problem is—there are so many of us that run away from those words. We want it...
169: Find Your Alignment with Eric James
April 15, 2019 09:00 - 2 hours“Relax so that you’re really at your best and you can really feel what’s aligned for you so you can take the best action.” - Eric James (click to tweet) It’s not uncommon for us to experience our lives and even our physical bodies in dissonance. We wonder why circumstances in life seem to work against us, or we feel like our body isn’t operating in its best state for us to perform well at our tasks. Well all of that could actually be a consequence of the way we are used to approaching life...
168: How to STOP Arguing & START Communicating
April 08, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour“You can be in a room with hundreds of people and still feel alone.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) One of the most common issues in relationships is communication. Often, during heated disagreements, we have a tendency to start behaving in patterns that our system has developed as a defense mechanism over time. Some of us use anger as our outlet, while others use withdrawal or silence. But all of these defense patterns come from an internal need that feels neglected. Our hurtful re...
167: Understanding Self-Sabotage
April 01, 2019 09:00 - 1 hour“The energy of resistance is the second most powerful energy to manifest something.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) It’s human nature to worry. And typically, it has nothing to do whether our situation feels good or bad. When we’re stressed, we worry that we’re stressed. And when we experience happiness, we worry that we’re not experiencing it more. Our tendency to respond with negative emotions carries energy behind it that we need to deeply understand before we can overcome it ef...
166: Balancing The Masculine and Feminine Energies
March 25, 2019 09:00 - 57 minutes“You can build the sexiest, most amazing car in the world. But if you don’t have the right fuel, you aren’t going anywhere.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) We have to get things done. Our jobs, our relationships, our classes—at each step in the road, a to-do list forms, and we spend our time checking off the items. But often times, the tasks don’t get accomplished, and we then are left wondering why. It turns out that, more often than not, this is due to a lack of energy and awaren...
165: Be Kind and Firm: Parenting 101 with Lisa Howe
March 18, 2019 09:00 - 58 minutes“Parenting is a self-improvement project in disguise.” - Lisa Howe (click to tweet) Parenting is the greatest ask. You have to raise children to be their best selves, by providing unconditional love and support. In theory, this makes sense—but when the realities of life get pressed against the stressors of child-bearing, it can be hard to see the picture clearly. That’s why self-regulation is so important. If we’re not taking care of ourselves, then we cannot expect to take care of anot...
164: Creating A Spiritual Pattern Interrupt
March 11, 2019 09:00 - 49 minutes“If your system is freaking out, stop trying to manage it. Let it freak out.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) The smallest thing can set us off. Maybe it’s a spouse ignoring our request, or a co-worker not responding to our emotional cues. In these moments, we can feel the tidal waves of anger or frustration come crashing down on us. Defending against their force is a losing battle, but we try anyways. This attempt creates even more velocity in the rabbit hole of negative thinking...
163: The Ego vs. The Authentic Self
March 04, 2019 10:00 - 35 minutes“A life driven by the ego is a life not worth living.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) Your ego has devastated your life. We might not be aware of this simple fact, but it’s the truth. The voice inside our head is the thing that inflicts all of our emotional pain—it’s our ego. To free yourself from its hold, you must learn to differentiate between it and you. This separation is often difficult because the ego clouds our perception of reality. That’s why on today’s episode of Persona...
162: How To Embrace Discomfort
February 25, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour“Your system has to be met with an open heart or else it just collapses.” - Guy and Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) Parenting is uncomfortable. Those with children say it’s like constantly holding a mirror up to yourself. While that might be flattering when your child shows kindness or listens carefully—often times, they reveal the parts of us that we don’t want the rest of the world seeing. When this happens, it’s easy to lose sight of our parental responsibilities. We get triggered, and th...
161: Healing Through Sex with Jaiya
February 18, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour“The majority of us are clouded in programming and cultural conditioning around our sexuality.” - Jaiya (click to tweet) We don’t want to look at our shadows. Instead, we look at what’s ahead, focused on the next task at hand or ‘to-do’ we need to cross off our list. Doing this works well—we’ll build the business of our dreams with the relationship and family we never thought was possible. But inside, it’s a different story. Our shadows still scream for our attention. That is until the on...
160: If You’re Asking The Question, You Know The Answer
February 11, 2019 10:00 - 53 minutes“The #1 condition on the planet is a lack of self-worth.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) Personal development can become complicated. The more time we spend on the journey of growth, the more we learn how much room there is left to grow. If we’re not careful, this paradox can become crippling. However, the antidote to this anxiety is closer than we think. Just by being invested in the space of personal development, you are asking the right questions, which means you know the answe...
159: Start Seeing What’s Possible
February 05, 2019 20:08 - 42 minutes“The quality of your life depends on the questions you’re asking.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) Many of us are sensitive. An offhand comment at work from a boss, or a challenging look from a significant other—these are the things that can often set us off course. But are these moments actually doing what we say they’re doing? Or—have we just told ourselves that we’re sensitive, and we’re choosing to hold that identity to support the narrative. On today’s episode of Personal Develo...
158: How To Find Alignment with Jason Prall
January 28, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour“There’s a difference between intellectually understanding something and embodying and truly knowing it.” - Jason Prall (click to tweet) Everybody is talking about alignment. From yoga to organic eating, it seems that everywhere you turn—there is another business or person trying to sell alignment. When we begin to make the strides toward centering ourselves, we learn that alignment is not something you can acquire from the outside world. Rather, we must look internally to find our tru...
157: Do More By Doing Less with Amina AlTai
January 21, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour“I’ve had the biggest breakthroughs in my life when I’ve just stood still.” - Amina AlTai (click to tweet) We’re told busy is better. Wake up, workout, hustle all day, burn the midnight oil on your side hustle—this is the routine for success. Or, that’s at least what we’re told. But it turns out when we follow this protocol and frantically run about town, the money doesn’t cannot find us When we instead choose to sit with our thoughts and breathe through the anxieties—we can more swiftl...
156: Why Goal Setting Doesn’t Work
January 14, 2019 10:00 - 46 minutes“Stop trying to make yourself feel better. Instead, get better at feeling.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) We want to achieve certain milestones. So we write down these goals, and then make the daily efforts to hopefully achieve them one day. But typically that doesn’t happen, and we find ourselves in the same spot that we started in. On today’s episode of Personal Development Without The Fluff, we are reframing our understanding of goal-setting. Often times, the personal developmen...
155: You Can Either Be Right or In Love
January 07, 2019 10:00 - 45 minutes“You can either be right or I can be in love.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) In theory, relationships should be effortless. When two people unconditionally love each other, there are no moments of setback because love conquers all. But we all know this isn’t the reality. The obstacles and hurdles of life often face us with great force, and our anxiety gets the best of us. That’s why on today’s episode of Personal Development Without The Fluff, we are discussing how to save our r...
154: Your Breakthroughs Are Waiting For You Everywhere
December 31, 2018 10:00 - 55 minutes“The breakthroughs that one seeks are very rarely inside the arena that they’re having the breakdowns in.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) Scheduling complicates our lives. We wake up every morning, go to work, maybe hit the gym, and then spend time with our loved ones. This segmentation of time tricks our systems into believing this is how life works—that a problem during work hours is caused by something during work hours or stagnation in a relationship is because of something ins...
153: How to Overcome Your Fear of Death with Peter Smith
December 27, 2018 00:36 - 1 hour“Everybody has a right to their own soul.” - Peter Smith (click to tweet) Most people have a finite understanding of life. Society drills this into our heads—the idea that we’re born one day and we die another is something most of us never question. But what happens when we look inward and challenge this simplistic notion of life? We start to invite the ideas of afterlife into our consciousness. And when we do this, our day-to-day changes drastically. Those triggers and moments of anxiet...
152: Don’t Follow Your Passions with Ajit Nawalkha
December 17, 2018 07:00 - 1 hour“You’re most likely living a reflection of what’s around you.” - Ajit Nawalkha (click to tweet) Success is difficult to achieve. That’s because we grow up in a society or family that tells us a specific definition of it, and then our adult life has us steering the ship toward that target point. During the journey, we think about the destination, which entirely removes us from the moment (where success lives.) So the question becomes: how do we reorient our definition? On today’s episode of Pe...
151: You Can Carry The Love Without The Pain with Uma Girish
December 10, 2018 07:00 - 55 minutes“Bringing a spiritual response to loss is about keeping your heart open.” - Uma Girish (click to tweet) Nothing compares to the pain of loss. When someone we love dies, we feel the ache coursing through our entire bodies. We are convinced that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. But if we take a moment to look at the impermanence of nature around us, we can understand that the human soul is designed to deal with loss. It’s our society that creates ideas, like having to deal with it b...
150: How to Say Yes with Jenny Taylor
December 03, 2018 07:00 - 53 minutes“It’s not about feeling good in life. It’s about getting better at feeling.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) It’s easy to say no. All you have to do is find something else to do, and over time you will forget about the moment you submitted to your anxiety and fear. However, the next time that situation presents itself, the same feelings will resurface and you won’t have the built skillset required to transcend the challenge. That’s why on today’s episode of Personal Development Withou...
149: The Never Ending Game of Surrender
November 26, 2018 07:00 - 58 minutes“Asking questions about being puts you further away from it.” - Guy & Ilan Ferdman (click to tweet) We think there’s a fix for all of our problems. But sometimes, we meet our match. Maybe it’s a work deadline, or a relationship issue—something that ultimately tips the scale. In these moments, we fish for our mantra or breathing exercise, anything that will neutralize the anxiety. But what if instead of searching for a solution, we surrendered to the problem? It turns out that there are times...
148: Voicing Your Greatest Fears with Poppy & Geoff
November 19, 2018 20:32 - 1 hour“It’s always about how they feel, rather than how they think.” - Poppy & Geoff (click to tweet) A relationship can be difficult Often, we find ourselves sitting on the couch bickering when all we want is to exist in peace and harmony. When the reality doesn’t align with our hopes and wishes, we become frustrated and fall deeper into the wormhole of negativity. So the question becomes: how do you create a relationship that facilitates the good emotions: happiness, excitement, and motiva...

November 05, 2018 07:00 - 51 minutesWe see successful people everywhere. Instagram, our Facebook feeds, covers of magazines, the movies—everywhere we turn, there is another ‘successful’ person doing what they do best: being successful.

September 10, 2018 06:00 - 1 hourIt’s easy to just go through the motions. Each day, when we wake up, we’re faced with the opportunity of the day ahead.

September 03, 2018 06:00 - 1 hourIdentity is a tricky thing. In our developmental years, we effortlessly create a sense of self based on the people, relationships, and situation around us.

136: Why Peace of Mind Comes Through Intuition, Not Intellect
August 27, 2018 06:00 - 46 minutesIntellect has its limits. But our mind isn’t willing to admit that.
